First time in Arizona - A great way to get a taste of what Arizona has to offer. From desert trail to lake to ghost town to movie set location! Beautiful and picturesque views. Kathleen is amazing- very knowledgeable and informative.

a fun day in the Sonoran Desert - Wonderful tour out of Scottsdale. We ventured into Tonto National Forest and experienced the Sonoran desert on a light mile-long hike. We saw giant saguaros and different varieties of wild cholla. Mike, our tour guide, was a wealth of information and a great story teller. He also took some great scenic photos which he shared with us. We lunched at Goldfield Ghost Town, a recreated gold mining town with authentic atmosphere. Superstition Mountains served as our beautiful view during lunch. The van was comfortable but carried only cold water. Bring your own snacks and save your appetite for good food at Goldfield.

An Immersive Experience - Our experience with Kathleen was amazing. She used every opportunity on the way to and during the stops to point out interesting sites and give us background knowledge while still throwing in many fun tidbits. We learned so much and came home feeling we had been immersed in the desert and the culture and history of Arizona. She enthusiastically answered our questions, took and suggested photo ops, and checked in with us often to make sure nothing was too strenuous for us. We absolutely recommend this tour.

Girl’s trip celebrating our 60th birthdays. - Mike was our awesome tour guide. He was so patient and kind to us throughout our 5 hour tour. We enjoyed the beautiful hike on the the Apache Trail, despite the 95 degree heat. We learned a lot about the native plants and creatures that lived there. Great tour to Superstition Mountain and surrounding sites.
